FXX Programmes

F1 Clienti/FXX
Programmes

If to own a
Ferrari is a privilege, then to possess an XX is a kind of apotheosis. These
intriguing letters stand for the three Ferrari programmes dedicated to its most
faithful customers who are lucky enough to drive cars produced in very limited
numbers and exclusively for the track.

The latest of these is the FXX-K, officially presented at the Finali Mondiali
in Abu Dhabi in December 2014. In the name, the letter K stands for "KERS", the
kinetic energy recovery technology for maximising track performance. Ferrari
made no compromises in the design of the FXX K, whose technological innovations
provide an unprecedented driving experience for the exclusive group of
customer-testers with which the "Prancing Horse" will perform a special test
programme over the next two years. The huge potential of the car is summed up
in a few but significant figures: 1050 total horse power, 860 of which come
from the V12 heat engine and 190 from the electric motor with over 900 Nm of
maximum torque.

The FXX was the first laboratory-car. It was launched in 2006 and
sports a 12-cylinder 6.3-litre engine that provides a thrilling
performance.

The star of the second XX adventure
is based on the Ferrari 599 and appeared in 2009. The 599XX is a 700-horse
power concentrate of technology equipped with very sophisticated systems such
as the fans that, sucking the air from the faired bottom of the car and
expelling it from two rear pipes, make the vehicle stick to the asphalt,
creating a perfect ground effect. Its performance is also thrilling. The XX
Programmes emerged out of the ingenious and rather fascinating idea of
involving a group of special customers in the development of the Ferraris of
the future, asking them to help provide information to the Corse Clienti
technicians. Indeed, the enthusiasts who own these cars take part in a number
of technical test sessions over the year closely monitored by Ferrari experts
and have the chance to meet Maranello's engineers and professional testers in
an environment in keeping with the tradition of the world's most famous race
team.
